MSNBC host Joe Scarborough returned to the topic of gun control on Friday, an issue he’s been vocal about since the elementary school massacre in Newtown. This time around, Scarborough was especially critical of the National Rifle Association, which, he said, has been lying to Americans to gin up fear.

Pointing to those who believe the government is coming to take away their guns, Scarborough said the GOP will be headed toward “extinction” if Republicans believe they need the survivalist vote.

And with that, he also sought to “break through the BS.” This “is not, for the NRA, about Second Amendment rights,” Scarborough asserted, adding that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia made clear that assault weapons were not included in the Second Amendment.
